The Sealed Nectar

Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum, translated as The Sealed Nectar, is a biography of the Prophet Muhammad by the Indian scholar Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri. Written for a competition organised by the Muslim World League, which it won, the book narrates the Prophet’s life from his lineage and birth through the years of revelation, migration, and the founding of the Muslim community, drawing on early sources. It is one of the most widely read English-language seerah works, and Zakir Naik recommends it as the best in English.
